In a breakdown of the details of the collaboration, IBIA supplies its Monitoring and Alert Platform which can monitor up to tens of thousands of transactions on matches in the AFC jurisdiction.
The Monitoring and Alert Platform uses real-time data on wagers on football matches and markets in those games to identify suspicious betting patterns. The platform uses sophisticated algorithms to highlight wagering activities that could point to match-fixing by criminals.
This deal is significant in the region for the IBIA and builds on its growing presence in Brazil and the LatAm region.
The AFC’s Vision and Mission has outlined our steadfast ambitions to uphold the highest ethical and sporting standards, and we are committed towards preserving our key tenets of fair play and integrity. Leveraging on strong collaborations with the world’s leading organisations is imperative to our fight against match-fixing and this MoU with IBIA further strengthens our ability to ensure football in Asia remains clean for the benefit of our future generation of fans, players and all our valued stakeholders.
